Wednesday starts like any other day, breakfast with Hale, shower, makeup, hair and finally clothes. Today I go with something just a bit evil as I know I will be forced to deal with Simon today, so the least I can do is leave him speechless once or twice. I go for a black and grey plaid mini skirt, black tights and my black Steve Maddens heels, obviously. As for the top, I go for a tightly fitted band t-shirt and my leather jacket over top. One of my favorite outfits. I hop in the car with Hale and we head to campus, knowing my first exam is with Simon, I assume we will be battling it out first thing, so I take a few drags off my Vuse before heading into the building. 

"FAG WATCH!" I hear as I feel something hard hit my back. My knees hit the tile and I see a backpack, not mine, obviously what knocked me down. I try to get up but trip over my own bag, just as a tear pricks my eye, I feel two strong arms lift me from the floor and bring me into the scent of my mate, Simon. His arms encircle me protectively. "Fucking stop, Jace. This isn't funny, it never has been. What the fuck did Merlin ever do to you? Can you just leave him alone?" I look up into his eyes, mine filled with tears and shock. I pull back from him and run from the hallway into my classroom, all eyes following me. I take a seat in the very back and set my bag down on the desk, laying my head behind it, hoping to simply disappear for a while. 

Yet soon... I smell him, he smells angry and worried. I feel him take the seat next to me as his voice washes over me, almost calming me down. "Merlin, are you alright? I am so sorry, I talked to them, and they shouldn't treat you, my ma-" I cut him off as I leap into his lap, wrapping my arms around his shoulders. Thankfully just as I do, the instructor dims the lights almost completely, as we are taking our Marketing exam today and need the projector. He looks down at me and snuggles me deeper into his lap, seemingly rocking me back and forth as a growl, no, a purr... emanates from him. I look up to and see him smile back down at me, quite relaxing honestly.  

Right when I am pulling myself up to his lips, so ready for this kiss; the video on the screen begins and I jump. From his embrace I fall, thankfully landing sloppily back in my chair and not on my ass. I turn to the screen and pull my chair flush against the desk, trying to hide...how he makes me feel, and he does the same, incredibly close to me. I just let it be, but then he shifts his knee to meet mine and I lean mine, just a bit, into his too.

~Simon POV~

Things are going well, I think. I mean, not my friends being evil to him, but him finding safety and comfort in me; that is always good. It means he trusts me, at least a little bit, right? After class I will ask him on that date and things will finally officially begin between us. What time I don't spend working on my test, I spend admiring him. His soft but strong jaw, tensing and relaxing as he moves from one question to another. His black nails, painted sloppily, I will have to take him to get them done properly. Then I notice how to skirt sits perfectly around his slim waist and falls so elegantly down and over his wide hips. Tauntingly leaving just enough to the imagination in the back, I could pass away from sheer anticipation. 

Thankfully I am finished with my exam because there is no way I would be able to concentrate on anything but him. I see him finish his exam, so I take the initiative and flip off our desk lamps. I move my hand onto his thigh, hoping not to startle him and he leans his head over onto my shoulder. I look down at him resting on me and gamble giving him a small kiss on the forehead. Will he slap me and storm out? Probably. Will he take this chance to finally kiss me back? Hopefully. Am I still going to risk it, just to feel it once? Absolutely. 

"Merlin..." I whisper to get him to move his head just enough, and when he does, I plant a soft, slow kiss on his forehead, lingering there for just a few seconds. I then use my free hand to brush some hair out of his eyes and lay my cheek on the top of his head, and when I do, I hear that beautiful purr I so crave to hear.
